This administration is committing Watergate level crimes multiple times per week—and those are the ones we know about. It’s crazy to think about what else will come out after.
It’s absolutely essential these criminals are held responsible for their crimes. We must end elite impunity.
The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate.
The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns.
Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care.
The list goes on and on.
Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
So Barack Obama rigged the 2016 election for His Magasty to win, but the 2020 election for Biden to win, but only the presidency, not any important House or Senate seats that Dems lost, and then the Dems just decided not to rig 2024. Gotcha.
We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war.
If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

The "party of the working class," everyone.
Abolish ICE doesn't sound too radical now does it?
People are NOT understanding what empty cargo ships from China means.
It means no work for dock workers. No work for truck drivers, no work for retailers, fewer dollars circulating. The cascade effect is just mind boggling.
Y’all, I think I found that welfare state the right wingers keep crying about
Tricia McLaughlin @TriciaOhio The narrative being pushed about Jose Hermosillo is false. On April 8, Hermosillo approached Border Patrol in Tucson and stated he had entered the U.S. illegally through Nogales. He said he wanted to turn himself in and completed a sworn statement identifying as a Mexican citizen who had entered unlawfully. He was processed and appeared in court on April 11. Afterward, he was held by the U.S. Marshals in Florence, AZ. A few days later, his family presented documents showing U.S. citizenship. The charges were dismissed, and he was released to his family. This arrest was the direct result of Hermosillo’s own actions and statements. Quote Frank Luntz @FrankLuntz · Apr 20 Replying to @FrankLuntz “He did say he was a U.S. citizen, but they didn't believe him.” An American citizen named Jose in Arizona was detained by immigration officials for 10 days. His family later provided officials with his birth certificat
Mind-boggling that DHS's official position on this case is genuinely that a US citizen dad from Albuquerque visiting family in Tucson went up to a Border Patrol agent and said "Hi, I'm a Mexican man who entered here illegally, please deport me."
Do they think we are dumb?
The rollout of Direct File was a genuine unequivocally good thing (unless you’re a huge Intuit shareholder or something), and I know a few people who worked very hard on it.
Don’t shame people for not immediately reading all the books they buy. Some books aren’t made to be ready right away, okay? Some books need time to mature. Some books need to cure for a while. Some books are prosciutto, and don’t you forget it.
I can’t believe how stupid everything is
Well, they lied. Obviously.

Oh, so let me get this straight: deciding not to buy a car now qualifies as “treason”, but beating cops with flagpoles, smearing shit on the walls of the Capitol, and trying to overthrow an election is just good old-fashioned “peaceful protest”?
Give me a fucking break.
NEW: A Maryland federal judge says Elon Musk and DOGE likely violated the Constitution in their efforts to dismantle USAID. The judge ordered DOGE to restore the agency's functionality and blocked Trump from making further attempts to shut down the agency.
We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!
These are e most important #s for the Dems. They should be tracking all local media and influencers in these states and reposting it everywhere
The economic pain tariffs can indlict on red states need to be talked about more than anything else right now. It will flip voters.
I don't want to say the Schumer optics are bad but Gavin Newsom just invited him on his podcast.
Sleepy puppy for the first Flashes post!
Maybe dem reps could hold their own state of the union on the Capitol steps. Steal the spotlight. Let members like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Max Frost, and the DNC make remarks. Norms don't exist. Buck them.
